Helman it is. Looks like the lefty aversion was too powerful to beat out the rookie aversion.

Sure, just bench Larnach and Wallner....makes total sense.

To me, it’s surprising and a little scary that Farmer is our #5 hitter.

I would bet more on the last 2 years being the baseline, but he is on the team, so he is going to play.

He's 0-4 his last 5 games.

It’ll be interesting. No idea what to expect.

On the bright side, one of Cleveland and KC will lose tonight.

Yeah, I like this game.

His last hit was August 26th, the one before that was August 20th. Those are his only two hits since August 15th.

Now, one could argue that in 8 of those games he's had one or fewer ABs. However, then I'd counter that only pleading insanity could find anyone not culpable for actually using him as a pinch hitter.

On the other hand, insanity pleas would leave these threads pretty much vacant.
